Some of what Paul says is simplistic to the point of being misleading. Some of what he says is daft. And some of what he says is says is compelling and important, albeit vague.

How many of these despicable cowards send their children to boot camp to become cannon fodder for the imperial regime in DC?
all part of the strategy. Confuse them and expose them as not really conservatives. Ms. Rubin is against cutting 50bn from the budget. Quick look at the comments & most of them are mocking her and the claim she is conservative.
